Hello. I’m Aobakwe.
I build software. Four years of that professionally, and two before it interning, mostly web applications: the kind other people’s businesses run on.
I’m building Lorraine. The short version: we’re reducing the cognitive load on doctors across Africa. We’re live in South Africa.
The problem was never that doctors lack ability. It’s what we ask them to carry on top of it. A registrar preparing for their CMSA exams works from outdated notes, scattered PDFs and WhatsApp groups, in whatever hours a full clinical week leaves behind. The practice around them still runs on paper. None of that is medicine, and all of it spends attention that medicine needed.
So we build the infrastructure around medicine rather than one more thing to log into. Lorraine Learn is the exam-prep side: the CMSA syllabi mapped properly, POPIA-aligned, mobile-first and working offline, because a hospital is not a place with dependable signal. Built in South Africa.
The bet underneath it is a simple one. Take enough weight off a doctor and you don’t get a busier doctor, you get a better one. Not because anyone tried harder, but because their attention finally went where it was always meant to go.
